^That i think your going to have to ask houkoloic.
Edit 1: Okay before i get to to the summaries/ spoiler i just realizied we never had a full out summary except Vol. 3 the rest are spoilers. I tried compiling them but i did a crappy job you could say due to what i said last sentence. So dont jump me, cause i know it sucks the following are just a little bit of questions people had and others answered them which spoils the story. I have no credit to the spoilers that are given.

Spoiler for These are just bits of spoilers that gave some summary of Vol.:

Volume 3Prologue - The Malicious Scar at The Corner -Sandyhy88
Listy El Da Sherfied exit spatial transfer door along with General Zeck Doltoreck, Executive Lucie Tolm, and her maid Valkyria.
Spatial Transfer door tranfer people within the world (it's also can sent the people from another world back to his/her world). Alezard has 8 spatial transfer door and only royalty or important person that can use it. But can be use for general when in emergency.
They're just back for meeting at Disdia Empire to discuss something.
In the past, Sherfied Kingdom, Disdia Empire, and Alkrast Imperial always use it gather meeting about how to defeat Maou Garius. And because of that formed a military alliance between them.
But te last meeting now was discussed about how to capture Maou's daughter Miao.
After that they choice Queen Office to have secret talk for eliminate the risk of leaked.
After Valkyria close the door, Listy suddenly has heavy sigh.
"Too tired, just one day out of country"
Listy's tone is hopeless with her head resting at the desk with a mountain of official document.
"Really! the judgment of Lucie-sama is correct"
"If we back by land like The Highness suggest, it will take 5 days and a lot more document will piled at that desk"
Valkyria speak calmly.
By land, Listy want to inspect the reconstruction of Sherfied territory, especially the border and hoping that the reconstruction work finish accordance with the schedule.
Listy understand that Lucie and Valkyria suggestion was correct.
But seeing and using spatial tranfer door make her remember about someone.
[...Akatsuki...]
Akatsuki is a hero that can inspire others. It will be a great help if he stay and bring greater hope and courage to people (not all resident of Alezard that hate him, mainly army who fight side by side with him, all respect and adore him).
[...No!..not that...]
The one who want him to stay the most is not the people of Alezard, but Listy herself.
Akatsuki back to his world and Listy ascended to the throne of the Queen.
After time elapsed, Listy understand that in the past he occupied an important position in her heart. His strength, a bright smile, and a strong personality, not only bring Listy inexplicable sense of security, it become one of her spiritual pillar.
But now, it's not that time. She must finish all official document that take several hours to finish.
"I will help, with two people, it's much faster" Lucie said with smile.
"Two peaple? Only Lulu?" Said Listy while has sinister eye to Zeck.
"Don't underestimete me! I will hep too" Zeck rebuke.
"These document aside, the most important thing is..." Listy suddenly lower down the volume of speech.
"You two should be more or less guessed right? Yes! I would like to invite you to investigate somethings"
Zeck will investigate about the origin of Disdia Hero, Phil Barnet. They never hear about him in the past. And if he summoned recently, how he gain power so much at short time.
Lucie will investigate about people that back to their world. Is there any way that people that return come back to Alezard or not. At any rate Listy believe that there is a way. Because Akatsuki said that if she need help, call his name.
"Investigate is of course not a problem, but.... are you have any plan that there is a way?" Lucie tone is very quite.
Is it just analyze the mechanism of the world? or she intend to resummon Akatsuki? Lucie eyes flashing indignant look as if ill blame Listy consideration.
[Akatsuki return to his world with Maou's daughter]
Listy do not want to belive what Disdia Emperor, Balam, said.
Listy already made up her mind that what ever happen, she always standing on Akatsuki's side.
Therefore the investigate will begin.
Lucie will ask to her elder that lived for thousand year.
And Zeck with the spy from Disdia Army.
Suddenly there a knock at the office door.
"The is a very important thing that must to report, Valkyria-sama" The sound of the maid.
Sudeenly the maid explain the situation that happen when they leave the country.
With the heavy tone.

Part 2
"Why..."
Listy could not belive what she saw.
Seeing the destruction of the grave.
Spirit Park is the eternal resting place for soldier who unfortunately die during war againt Mazoku.
From all the tomb that exist, only one tomb that get destroyed.
Leon Esperio's Grave.
"Horrible, who would do something like this?"
If it's Akatsuki, there is a few residents that still hold grudge.
But Listy cannot thing of anyone for Leon's grave.
"Valkyria! Immediately bring the perpetrators out! Destruction of the Hero's grave would be a heavy crime against the people of Sherfied Kingdom"
Zeck that realise it that the tomb was destroyed like being smash with large hammer. but Leon's tombstone was made by special ore with the hardness higher than iron ore. It's also magic resistance. so a mere hammer or general magic cannot destroy the tombstone.
Zeck think that only expert swordman can do this, and she remember one man.
But still cannot conclude that he was the perpetrators.

Part 3
In the middle night of Japan BABEL, mental harm enchantment was not activate because of the machine being destroyed by intruders.
There is a man that trying to bring back the system, Kubota.
He is the head of staff that create AD, Physical damage special enchantment, or simulation training system contruction of BABEL. Almost all system are his masterpiece.
Kubota thing how can a mere intruder can bring all system of BABEL not function. Even the back up system for emergency too.
[Is there any traitor at inside?]
He cannot stop to think like that.Chapter 1 - Beautiful Moonlit Night Sandyhy88Part 1
There is a fire at BABEL training stadium that convert to become a huge forest for Final Ranking Exam.
At the hill stand a man, Ousawa Akatsuki.
Today is the first day of Final Ranking Exam.
At daytime fight, Akatsuki and his team defeated numerous competitors.
After nightfall, Akatsuki alone fight against Student Council of Japan BABEL.
But before finished the fight, he stopped.
The reason is simple, Akatsuki little sister Myuu, Chikage, and Kuzuha has a fierce fight at their camp.
With the distance three kilometers, he dash in the middle night.
It's took him less than one minute to arrive the scene thanks to his extraordinary physical.
But still lagged a step behind.
The camp was completely destroyed.
"This is ..."
The Student Council members subsequently arrived. The speed is quite fast, beyond the Akatsuki expected.
Probably using Haruka flight magic of the wind properties, Akatsuki thought. The three members of the student council looked at the destruction of the camp.
"The previous sound of battle was from here?"
Minami immediately contact staff to track the whereabout of Ousawa Myuu and the other two from AD reaction.
But failed because system enchantment broken.
Know that the BABEL staff and student council helpless, Akatsuki closes his eyes.
At the same time focus his counciousness rather than his hearing.
Akatsuki start searching by infuriating. Anything has difference infuriating response, include earth or air.
[Found it!]
Myuu's infuriating moving fast to south direction, near the strange infuriating. He suspect that this person is the perpetrators and Akatsuki remember his infuriating for tracker (target lock on).
"It seem Myuu still alright and not far away. with their speed, I can catch up easily"
But Akatsuki capture weak infuriating response for Kuzuha and Chikage.
Akatsuki suddenly run to the scene.
"Hey! what happen?"
Seeing Akatsuki's pale face, Haruka cannot help surprised.
ignoring Haruka's question, Akatsuki stop at a dumping of the trunk.
With gently waving his right hand just like drive away mosquitoes, The harsh wind noise pierced the air and huge tree trunk flying to the sky.
The ground tremble from the impact of huge tree trunk.
"This is ..."
Ignoring student council awe, Akatsuki cried out:
"IZUMI!!! CLASS REP!!!"
Both girls seriouly injured that make Akatsuki shocked. Akatsuki gently grab and lift up both girls.
"...Ousawa-kun...?" Kuzuha suddenly regained conciousness.
However, her voice is surprisingly weak, lost its former composure and calm.
"I'm sorry ......"
Barely squeezed out from the throat trembling trace of the statement, but it as fine as mosquito-sounding whimper.
"......"
Akatsuki seeing, can not help but narrowed his eyes.
At this time from behind Haruka finally found the existence of the two.
"Doumoto-san! Izumi-san! You all right?"
"I ... I'm fine ... Fortunately, Izumi she ...... she stand in front of me in a pinch ...
Kuzuha struggling to turn his neck, looking at the side of Chikage.
Awareness of Chikage has not been restored, the red trail of blood to extend all the way from the temple near the cheek. It seems from this situation, the head has impact with heavy objects.
"Doumoto-san, in the end what hap...."
Before finished, Akatsuki immediately raise his hand to stop her.
Akatsuki despite raging from anger, calmly ask the question:
"...what kind of guy?"
"Never seen him before.... suddenly appeared.... he is very strong... we cannot match him..... in order to protect us that already seriously injured, Ousawa-san ....."
Suddenly Kuzuha remember something.
"He is seem like from another world. Ousawa-san mention that Paladin of Disdia...."
"....."
Akatsuki's face fell.
Do not need to ask further questions, Akatsuki has understand the situation.
The intruders is the pursuer from Alezard.
Akatsuki know that someone from Alezard will send the pursuer, but didn't expected that it was this fast.
".... I see, I understand"
Akatsuki nodded and stroking Kuzuha's cheek.
"You've worked hard, Class rep, leave it to me, don't worry about it."
After the word has just finished.
"........."
Kuzuha suddenly lost consciousness.
After seeing her sleeping state, Akatsuki's right hand has glowing ray. Seeing this Uesuki Ryouhei ask:
"What are you doing Ousawa-san?"
"The first aid. Using my qi to guide her inner qi to work only for healing"
After that, Akatsuki's hand cover the head of Chikage who lost much the blood. After getting treatment from Akatsuki, her pale face gradually back on track.
"It seem that Izumu's infuriating also already stabilized, ... vice-pres!"
"....Ah! Yes!"
Akatsuki's tone is very severe, Haruka suddenly taken aback.
"Bring these two to nearby staff camp. You're good at fly Magic, there are no people that faster than you. According to the explanation of the ranking tournament, the medical team are on standby at any time in the camp headquarters? "
".....Yes, but now they gone"
Mina suddenly interupted.
"This afternoon, amysterious man suddenly invade the school. Because of there're several security guard injured, medical team down to help them"
"Is that so...... Then it's simple. send the injured directly to infirmary. Anyway, the one that can fly and transport only you. This task belong to you"
"First call my name, don't calling me 'you'....."
Haruka helpless sigh.
"For the rest student, because we cannot track them by AD, it's best that using Aihara-san golem to identify the current location of students. How much you can use it?"
Akatsuki suddenly ask Aihara Minami.
"....Two hundred at once should not be a problem"
"Very good! Immediately mobilize all golem for looking the rest of survive student and guide them to nearby staff camp in order to reduce unnecessary casualties"
And then ....
"Uesuki-kun will work along with Aihara-san and if you find any seriously injured students, use fire magic to send a signal for vice-pres know"
"I understand.... If any found the injured student, using fire magic to pinpoint the place for vice-pres come to place and transport them right?"
Uesuki Ryouhei immediately understand the intetion of Akatsuki.
"But..."
Uesuki Ryouhei suddenly narrowed his eyes.
"....That way, we will not be able to participate in the search for the intruder's. Are you going to track the strength and the true face of the enemy alone?"
"Everyone has their own talent, things are not always prioritized it. You are a member of the student council, in addition to leading all of the students, to protect the safety of all students are your responsibility? So Hello, you do your work, I do what I mush do"
"Even so, you are also one of students that we mush protect"
Haruka staring at Akatsuki.
"Even though you are the most problematic student at school, as Japan BABEL higher management, we cannot sit by and watch you in danger?"
"Oh.... is vice-pres actually worry about me?"
"You, you don't misunderstanding. As vice-president, it's her duty to concern and protect every student"
Haruka suddenly flushed quickly.
"Thank you for your concern..... But as the older brother, this is my duty to protect her."
Akatsuki looked around to the trio.
Not hesitate to draw conclusion:
[Whatever you do, you cannot stop me]
"..............."
The student council of the three suddenly silent, and the reason is indeed can not be denied.
When the two sides duel, though there are not yet has a winner, which one is better was already evident.
The trio already know who can help Myuu now, is only Ousawa Akatsuki.

Part 2
"I leave class pres and Izumi to you"
After said that Akatsuki suddenly dash away.
"Ah..."
Nanase Haruka only watched Akatsuki leave.
Watching for Akatsuki face the crisis alone.
[...Wait....]
Cannot understand why but her chest is difficult to suppress an emotional. Made she could not help shouting.
"I will find you!"
Nanase Haruka do not understand the meaning of such feelings, she just could not help but nothing more.
"After finish evacuate all students and determine that everyone safe, we will find you!"
Akatsuki stop and turning back.
[....Ah....]
It's very clear that Akatsuki smile. The same smile that she saw at Kubota's factory the other day. Nanase Haruka no longer speak, she didn't know how to begin.
After that Akatsuki continue running until his back completely disappeared into the darkness.
Haruka cast her eyes down.
"Ryouhei, Minami, Let go!"
Raise her head and restore her detemination, she start what she must do.
Have to wait for the rest due to Sandy having a break this is all I could get from Vol 3Vol. 4- Houkoholic
When the group went back to Alezard they splitted into two groups for their mission: Akatsuki, Myuu and Haruka in one. Motoharu, Chikage and Kuzuha as another.

Akatsuki's group went back to Listy's homeland Slyphid and as their base Akatsuki went to the courtesan's guild that he worked for. As a precaution the owner of the guild Melissa made Myuu and Haruka dress in the lingerie so they would blend in with the other girls in the guild, but Melissa also made Myuu and Haruka do some chores (cleaning and wash the dishes). So after a hard day's work Myuu and Haruka went back to the room they were staying in and they wanted to find something to drink. They found a bottle of mysterious fruit juice (which turns out to be concentrated aphrodisiac potion) and when Akatsuki returned he found them in that state, and well, you can fill in the rest. Vol-6 Houkoholic
Someone is touching one of the twins of cecil?
That was Cecil grabbing Akatsuki's hand and putting it on her breast. There's deeper meaning there in the conversation. Akatsuki ran into Cecil when Cecil was on a chase for the Phoenix Cell secret exchange in a cafe. The two stroke up a conversation (though Akatsuki doesn't know Cecil's identity at that time) and Cecil said that she doesn't mind being with Akatsuki (even though Akatsuki confessed that he's a pervert) because she knows that Akatsuki won't be able to do anything to her unless she lets him. Akatsuki made a comment about how Cecil is a guy's name and said could it be that Cecil's actually a transvestine in which Cecil suddenly grabbed Akatsuki's hand and put it on her breast as "proof" that she's a real woman. Akatsuki was surprised because being as strong as he is (and constantly alert with strangers) it shouldn't be easy for someone to just grab his dominate hand let alone move it against his will, also Akatsuki's perverted ability means he's always the one which makes women submit to him. So it was actually Cecil showing her dominance over Akatsuki there in that situation.Volume 9 - Houkoholic
Hikami was defeated by Akatsuki, he was completely swallowed by Akatsuki's ki blast, didn't mention anything about bodies however. But since the Japanese government have successfully created the Phoenix Cell which can revive dead people plus also on Alezard side there are spells which can revive the dead I wouldn't totally rule out that he might come back as a zombie of some sorts. Especially since it is hinted that Hikami might actually be related to someone important on the Alezard side.

As for how Akatsuki fend off magic attacks - since the basic elemental magic (earth, fire, water, wind) a manipulation of the environment, and that everything of the environment has ki in it, and Akatsuki's Renkankekikou is the ability to manipulate ki, he is thus able to create a ki barrier with Renkankekikou to protect himself from basic elemental magic. This is how he fends off the magic from people like Onizuka and Haruka. However the barrier is not invincible, if the elemental magic user has great ability the ki barrier can be breached - such as when Hikami was channelling power from Myuu's inner Super Advanced Dimensional Lifeform power even the most basic fire spell could hurt Akatsuki.

Note that there are actually higher forms of special ability above elemental magic such as physics ability (which manipulates laws of physics) and the even higher conceptual ability (which is a unique hax type ability to each person, such as Kaito Motohara's binding chains which you get a glimpse of in ep 12), and Akatsuki's ki barrier are useless against those.

When the new hero intrude, they are still weak. Kuzuha, Chikage, and Haruka become stronger when come to Alezard and fighting against Alezard three Kingdom Alliance.

Kaido Motoharu still enigmatic. I consider him as Akatsuki rival that sometimes helping and sometimes hindering. Twilight Vermilion's spy. Has the same physical ability as Akatsuki (with normal Renkan Ki Kikou) with Chain magic as primary.

Could someone provide more detail on the norum check? It was supposedly how Akatsuki's prophecy was made

When Babel detects a person returning from the other worlds they will (forcefully) recruit said person to become a student of their local Babel. When the students enter Babel they need to pass three tests: health test, norm check, and battle check. First and last is self explanatory, the norm check on the other hand is like a fortune telling ritual where Babel sorcerers would borrow the power from the 3 Norse goddesses Urd, Verdandi and Skuld to read 3 aspects of that person and reveal it in a 3 passage poem-like (ie the wordings are vague and not exact) prophecy. The prophecy is said to be highly accurate as it borrows the power from the goddesses and is trusted by Babel/COCOON.

Urd would reveal what the person did in the other world. It is here where Akatsuki was revealed to be the "true hero" which is a first in Babel history.

Verdandi would reveal what power/magic the person possess.

Skuld would reveal what the person would face in the future, this part is the least accurate as it is possible to change the future.

@Houkoholic: So the gods of all earth mythology exist, not just the Norse ones?
Also, I refer back to my previous question. Why did the mazoku accept Akatsuki as their maou considering he killed the former maou?
Can you describe Motoharu's battles in Arezard?
Back to Akatsuki's attire, looking at vol 9 illustrations Akatsuki is wearing his maou clothes. Did he bring back those clothes from Arrezard?
Also, Myuu's armor is still that lingerie. Didn't it change when she went to Arrezard?
How did Myuu's and Listy's meeting with Gouki go?
What is Akatsuki's reputation among the students, particularly the girls?
What is Akatsuki' relationship and history with the courtesan guild?

@Houkoholic: So the gods of all earth mythology exist, not just the Norse ones?

No idea, but only Nordic ones were mentioned.

Quote:

Also, I refer back to my previous question. Why did the mazoku accept Akatsuki as their maou considering he killed the former maou?

Already answered in previous post. C&P:
A combination of Myuu's personal endorsement and his own power level was all that was necessary. It's not like even if anyone disagrees they could beat Akatsuki in a fight anyway.

Quote:

Can you describe Motoharu's battles in Arezard?

All of his battles were off screen except one where he fought Zacks, which he took care of really quickly with his Mind Bind ability.

Quote:

Back to Akatsuki's attire, looking at vol 9 illustrations Akatsuki is wearing his maou clothes. Did he bring back those clothes from Arrezard?

Not mentioned. Don't think the author thought it's important anyway.

Quote:

Also, Myuu's armor is still that lingerie. Didn't it change when she went to Arrezard?

Again not mentioned, author probably didn't care either as he never really goes into detail describing Myuu's attire so it's probably just the illustrator having his fun.
Also sometimes what the illustrator draws doesn't match up with the novel's content, there's one picture in volume 9 which shows Listy wearing pyjamas with Haruka and Chikage but she should be wearing Akatsuki's shirt.

Quote:

How did Myuu's and Listy's meeting with Gouki go?

Laid back, not really anything important except Gouki saw through that Myuu and Listy had love-related problems where they want to be friends but at the same time they also love the same guy and are rivals in a way.

Quote:

What is Akatsuki's reputation among the students, particularly the girls?

Never described first hand, but according to Chikage he is very much admired for his strength and looks amongst the female students. Also because everyone else still thinks that Myuu is his sister so his fight with Zahark was misunderstood as him fighting to protect his little sister which won him even more brownie points amongst the girls as a caring big brother.

Quote:

What is Akatsuki' relationship and history with the courtesan guild?

Akatsuki took a liking to Melissa's way of doing business (Melissa don't exploit her girls, she let them keep their money and she herself lives a very simple and basic life, thus Melissa gets all the hot girls working for her) and helped her fought off a rival guild which does underhanded practices. Also Melissa runs an operation based off her connection for information so it is useful for Akatsuki on that level as well.

While it's always possible but I really doubt it as the current setup really only focus on the real world and Arrezard, by the time the author goes through all the plot points that's already in the story now I think the series should be a wrap, the freshness of the series would be completely worn out by then and just pulling out more random strong enemy from other dimension would be a terrible way to run down the series.

Just a little speculation here. Considering the aspects of Hikami's plan, maybe this Plan Y involves using the power of Higher Dimensional Lifeforms to destroy the other worlds or Earth's connection with them. That or, more in line with their goal of bringing peace to Earth, to make a paradise out of Earth by destroying and rebuilding it.

While it's always possible but I really doubt it as the current setup really only focus on the real world and Arrezard, by the time the author goes through all the plot points that's already in the story now I think the series should be a wrap, the freshness of the series would be completely worn out by then and just pulling out more random strong enemy from other dimension would be a terrible way to run down the series.

Well Akatsuki haven't fought his brother or father yeah and the possibility of his dead sister coming back alive to be the last boss is there.
